WROCLAW BRIDGE (voir aussi en Francais)

The Wroclaw Bridge On the 14th November 2011 Master HO-GAN arrived by train in Wroclaw for the first time. Wroclaw is 340km south-west of Warsaw. Imagine you arrived, one evening to a place, an unknown place, probably very beautiful, with old churches and elegant houses, but you cannot know that much because it was a thick foggy evening. What you could see was the sign of a nearby coffee shop and some people moving around like phantoms through the diffused lights coming from everywhere which allowed you to guess that the central place of this city was very large. Perhaps, it could be as large as the Red Square in Moscow when imagination worked your mind. Plus, you did not speak the language and you did not have a map of this city at hand, then you got lost... Happily, getting lost gives us the opportunity to choose between being afraid or being quite detached from the reality of the moment to make any possible dream. For Master HO-GAN, that evening, Wroclaw was the most beautiful city in the world, the world of his dream. He did not try to find the way to his hotel. He just sat at that nice coffee shop and admired the large place under the heavy fog. He hope that he could one day come back to this city, on a foggy evening, and find the way to the famous bridge of Wroclaw. Phan Hoang (from POLAND I LOVE)
